Reverse description The reverse presents three facing or three-quarter portraits arranged side by side: friar Antonio de Montesinos, champion of indigenous rights; Enriquillo, the Taíno chieftain who led resistance against the Spanish conquistadors; and Sebastián Lemba, leader of a notable African slave revolt. Their names are inscribed below the respective portraits, separated by five-pointed stars. The legend CUNA DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS (Cradle of Human Rights) arcs along the upper periphery, underscoring the commemorative theme of the issue.
